Bajo Caracoles

Welcome to Bajo Caracoles

Little has changed since Bruce Chatwin dubbed Bajo Caracoles ‘a crossroads of insignificant importance with roads leading all directions apparently to nowhere’ in In Patagonia in 1975. Blink and you’ll miss this dusty gas stop, but if you’re headed south, do fill the tank, as it’s the only reliable gas pump between Perito Moreno (128km north) and Tres Lagos (409km south). From here RP 39 heads west to Lago Posadas and the Paso Roballos to Chile.
